The status quo and developing trend of Photogrammetry and remote sensingABSTRACT: Photogrammetry; Remote Sensing; Developing trendWith all the new science and technology , especially the computer technology , space technology and the rapid development of information technology, human society has been into the information age 。 Information highway construction, Geo—spatial information science-—geomatics generation and formation, "digital earth” the concept of photogrammetry and remote sensing for the development of the subjects to provide the solid foundation, rare opportunities and clear direction , but also to the further development of the subject put forward a series of challenges。Countries vice President al gore on jan。 31, 1998, put forward the concept of "digital earth" it, to realize the huge system, will need at least six key technical support, namely , computer science , mass storage , high resolution satellite images, broadband network , interoperability and metadata 。 Photogrammetry from produce to now, have experienced analog photogrammetric , analytic photogrammetry and digital photogrammetry three stages 。 With the development of digital photogrammetry, the image scanner, computer, digital photogrammetry software and relevant output device consists of digital photogrammetry system ( DPS ) will replace traditional light type measuring instrument, photography measurement software and hardware system changes also indicates the photogrammetry industry and the relevant industries change. The former Soviet union on October 4 , 1957 launched the world's first man—made earth satellite in 1959, using automatic interplanetary station detection on the back of the moon。 Launched in 1961, "Orienta...
